The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to average approximately 20 minutes for the teacher-level information and 10 minutes per study student, including the time to review instructions, gather the data needed, and complete and review the information collection. If you have any comments concerning the accuracy of the time estimate, suggestions for improving this survey, or any comments or concerns regarding the status of your individual submission of this survey, please write directly to: The Middle Grades Longitudinal Study of 2017-18 (MGLS:2017), National Center for Education Statistics, Potomac Center Plaza, 550 12th St, SW, Room 4002, Washington, DC 20202.

Middle Grades Longitudinal Study of 2017-18 (MGLS:2017)

MS1 Math Teacher Survey

ALL

A001. (A00a.) SURVEY INFORMATION

You have received an invitation to complete this questionnaire because one or more students you teach have been selected to participate in the MGLS:2017 Main Study. To enhance the information provided by your students and their parents, we need you to complete this survey.

After confirming whether you teach the students selected for MGLS:2017, the survey will ask some background questions about yourself and your school. The survey will also ask questions about your classroom(s) and about specific student(s) who are participating in our study. Some classroom- and student-specific portions of the survey will be repeated if you teach multiple study students.

Taking part in the study is voluntary, and you can skip questions you do not want to answer. We realize you are very busy, but urge you to complete the questionnaire as completely and accurately as possible. Your answers are very important to the study’s success. You will receive $20 for completing the parts about you and your classroom, plus an additional $7 for each individual student about whom you answer questions.

NOTE: There are [FILL NUMBER OF STUDENTS] MGLS:2017 student[s] that we will ask you to confirm you teach math to.

Please click below to start the survey.

<<FILL STUDENT NAME>>

<<FILL his/her SEX from preload>>

H001. (A00.)Thank you for answering our questions about the services [FILL STUDENT NAME] receives!

The next set of questions asks you to please rate [FILL STUDENT NAME]’s reading and mathematics skills as well as [his/her] functional abilities.

All

<<FILL HIS OR HER FROM SEX IN PRELOAD>>

H005. (A00a.) Please rate the student's skills, knowledge, and behaviors based on your experience with [him/her]. This is NOT a test and should not be administered directly to the student.

Each question includes examples that are meant to help you think of the range of situations in which the student may demonstrate the skills and behaviors. The examples are not exhaustive, but they do indicate the level of proficiency a student should have reached in order to receive the highest ratings.

It may be necessary to consider adaptations for some questions to make them more inclusive for this student's skills and/or use of adaptive equipment. For example, if a student utilizes alternative forms of verbal communication (e.g., sign language, communication boards) or written communication (e.g., word processors, Braille, dictation), please answer the questions with these adaptations in mind.

Each skill, knowledge, or behavior is rated on a five-point scale:

1 Not yet = Student has not yet demonstrated skill, knowledge, or behavior

2 Beginning = Student is just beginning to demonstrate skill, knowledge, or behavior but does so very inconsistently

3 In progress = Student demonstrates skill, knowledge, or behavior with some regularity but varies in level of competence

4 Intermediate = Student demonstrates skill, knowledge, or behavior with increasing regularity and average competence but is not completely proficient

5 Proficient = Student demonstrates skill, knowledge, or behavior competently and consistently

For students with Limited English Proficiency or English language learners: Please answer the questions based on your knowledge of this student's skills. If the student does not yet demonstrate skills in English but does demonstrate them in his/her native language, please answer the questions with the student's native language in mind. You can also consult with the student’s English language learner teacher or general education teacher to answer any question. If you feel you cannot answer any question, you will also have the option to indicate you are “unable to assess the student.”
